BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an electrode structure of a thin-film transistor.

Descriptions of the Related Art

In recent years, developments for flat panel displays have grown rapidly and traditional cathode radiation tube displays have been gradually replaced. Nowadays, major flat panel displays include: Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Displays (OLEDs), Plasma Display Panel (PDP), Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), and Field Emission Displays (FEDs). One of the key components of these flat panel displays includes a thin-film transistor (TFT) so as to control the turn on/off each pixel within these flat panel displays.

As shown in FIG. 1, generally, an electrode structure of a thin-film transistor 1 comprises a gate electrode 10, a source electrode 11, a drain electrode 12, and a semiconductor layer 13. The semiconductor layer 13 is formed above the gate electrode 10 while the source electrode 11 and the drain electrode 12 are formed above a portion of the semiconductor layer 13 and are separated to each other, individually overlapping to a portion of the gate electrode 10. Generally, a width LS of the source electrode and a width LD of the drain electrode are about 4 um. Using this size of the electrode structure in a thin-film transistor so as to control the turn on/off of the pixels is achieved.

However, while current flows through the drain electrode 12 to the source electrode 11, a current flowing from an arc portion 15 of the drain electrode 12 can flow into a circular portion 14 of the source electrode 11 only. Compared to the arc portion 15 of the drain electrode 12, the circular portion 14 of the source electrode 11 has a relatively restricted overlapping area. The circular portion 14 is easily influenced by semiconductor process varieties which further resist normal current flow. This seriously affects the current amount and results in unstable current.

Consequently, increasing and stabilizing the amount of current that flows through the drain electrode 12 to the source electrode 11 without negatively affecting the TFT electrical transmission within displays a necessary objective to endeavor and improve upon.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an electrode structure of a transistor to increase and stabilize an amount of current transmitted between electrodes by changing the related size of the two electrodes among these electrodes.

The above-mentioned electrode structure of the present invention comprises a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode has at least two first portions and at least one second portion. The first portions are substantially parallel with each other and each of these portions has a first width. The second portion has a second width, and is connected to the substantially parallel first portions to define a space with an opening.

Yet a further objective of the present invention is to provide a display apparatus comprising any of the above-mentioned of the electrode structure of the transistor.

Furthermore, the channel lengths between electrodes remain constant to follow the original design rules. Consequently, the objective to increase and stabilize the amount of current can be achieved without changing the original design rules.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

For convenience of understanding, the first electrode and the second electrode described in the claims are explained by common used drain electrode and source electrode.

A first embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B is an electrode structure 2 of a transistor which comprises a gate electrode 20, a source electrode 21, a drain electrode 22, and a predetermined material layer 23. The predetermined material layer 23 is formed above the gate electrode 20 while the source electrode 21 and the drain electrode 22 are formed above a portion of the predetermined material layer 23, and are separated to each other, each individually overlapping a portion of the gate electrode 20. The drain electrode 22 has two first portions 220, 221, a second portion 222, and a connecting section 223. The first portions 220, 221 are substantially parallel with each other, and each first portion has a first width LD₁. The second portion 222 has a second width LD₂, and is connected to the first portions 220, 221 so that the drain electrode 22 can define a space with an opening. In the present embodiment of the invention, the first width LD₁ is substantially greater than the second width LD₂.

One form of the electrode structure 2 of the transistor from the first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2A. The connecting section 223 of the drain electrode 22 is connected to the second portion 222. Another form is shown in FIG. 2B, where the connecting section 223 of the drain electrode 22 is connected to at least one of the first portions 220, 221. In the present embodiment of the invention, the width LS of the source electrode 21 is substantially equal to the first width LD₁.

Each parameter in the first embodiment of the present invention is explained by the following descriptive example. The first width LD₁ and the width LS of the source electrode 21 are substantially 4 micrometers (um), and the second width LD₂ substantially range from 2 um to 3.8 um. Consequently, the first width LD₁ and the second width LD₂ have a difference range from about 0.2 um to about 2 um, and the width LS of the source electrode 21 and the second width LD₂ have a difference range from about 0.2 um to about 2 um. In other words, the second width LD₂ is substantially equal to the first width LD₁ minus a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LD₂=LD₁−n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or substantially equal to 0.2. For example, if n=0.2, LD₁=4, then LD₂=3.8; if n=1, LD₁=4, then LD₂=3; if n=0.4, LD₁=5, then LD₂=4.6; if n=1.25, LD₁=4, then LD₂=2.75; if n=1, LD₁=3, then LD₂=2, wherein these values can be changed according to design requirements or design rules. Note that the second width LD₂ can also be calculated by subtracting the width LS of the source electrode 21 by a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LD₂=LS−n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or substantially equal to 0.2. After calculation, it is known that the ratio of the first width LD₁ and the second width LD₂ is substantially 1.05 to 2, and the ratio of the width LS of the source electrode 21 and the second width LD₂ is substantially 1.05 to 2 as well.

A second embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B is an electrode structure 3 of a transistor which comprises a gate electrode 30, a source electrode 31, a drain electrode 32, and a predetermined material layer 33. The predetermined material layer 33 is formed above the gate electrode 30 while the source electrode 31 and the drain electrode 32 are formed above a portion of the predetermined material layer 33, and are separated to each other, each individually overlapping a portion of the gate electrode 30. The drain electrode 32 has two first portions 320, 321, a second portion 322, and a connecting section 323. The first portions 320, 321 are substantially parallel with each other, and each first portion has a first width LD₁. The second portion 322 has a second width LD₂, and is connected to the first portions 320, 321, so that the drain electrode 32 can define a space with an opening. The source electrode 31 has a body 310 and an end portion 311, wherein the end portion 311 is substantially disposed in part of the space via the opening defined by the drain electrode 32. In the present embodiment of the invention, the first width LD₁ is substantially equal to the second width LD₂. The width LS₁ of the end portion 311 is substantially greater than the width LS₂ of the body 310, and the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 is substantially greater than the first width LD₁ and the second width LD₂.

One form of the electrode 3 structure of the transistor mentioned in the second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 3A. The connecting section 323 of the drain electrode 32 is connected to the second portion 322. Another form is shown in FIG. 3B where the connecting section 323 of the drain electrode 32 is connected to at least one of the first portions 320, 321.

Each parameter in the second embodiment is explained by the following descriptive example. The first width LD₁ and the second width LD₂ are substantially 4 um, the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 of the source electrode 31 substantially ranges from 4.2 um to 8 um, and the width LS₂ of the body 310 of the source electrode 31 substantially ranges from 4 um to 6 um. Consequently, the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 and the width LS₂ of the body 310 have a difference range from about 0.2 um to about 4 um, and the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 and the first width LD₁ have a difference range from about 0.2 um to about 4 um. In other words, the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 is substantially equal to the width LS₂ of the body 310 plus a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LS₁=LS₂+n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or substantially equal to 0.2. For example, if n=0.2, LS₂=4, then LS₁=4.2; if n=1, LS₂=4, then LS₁=5; if n=0.2, LS₂=6, then LS₁=6.2; if n=1.25, LS₂=4, then LS₁=5.25; if n=1, LS₂=3, then LS₁=4, wherein these values can be changed according to design requirements or design rules. Note that the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 can also be calculated by adding the first width LD₁ by a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LS₁=LD₁+n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or substantially equal to 0.2. After calculation, it is known that the ratio of the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 and the width LS₂ of the body 310 is substantially 0.7 to 2 and the ratio of the width LS₁ of the end portion 311 and the first width LD₁ is substantially 1.05 to 2.

The third embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B is an electrode structure 4 of a transistor which comprises a gate electrode 40, a source electrode 41, a drain electrode 42, and a predetermined material layer 43. The predetermined material layer 43 is formed above the gate electrode 40 while the source electrode 41 and the drain electrode 42 are formed above a portion of the predetermined material layer 43, and are separated to each other, each individually overlapping a portion of the gate electrode 40. The drain electrode 42 has two first portions 420, 421, a second portion 422, and a connecting section 423. The first portions 420, 421 are substantially parallel with each other, and each first portion has a first width LD₁. The second portion 422 has a second width LD₂, and is connected to the first portions 420, 421, so that the drain electrode 42 can define a space with an opening. The source electrode 41 has a body 410 and an end portion 411, wherein the end portion 411 is disposed in part of the space via the opening defined by the drain electrode 42. In the present embodiment of the invention, the first width LD₁ is substantially greater than the second width LD₂. The width LS₁ of the end portion 411 is substantially greater than the width LS₂ of the body 410, and the width LS₁ of the end portion 411 is substantially greater than the first width LD₁.

The second width LD₂ substantially ranges from 2 um to 3.8 um. The width LS₁ of the end portion 411 of the source electrode 41 substantially ranges from 4.2 um to 8 um, and the width LS₂ of the body 410 of the source electrode 41 substantially ranges from 4 um to 6 um. Consequently, the width LS₁ of the end portion 411 and the width LS₂ of the body 410 have a difference range from about 0.2 um to about 4 um. The width LS₁ of the end portion 411 and the first width LD₁ have a difference range from about 0.2 um to about 4 um and the first width LD₁ and the second width LD₂ have a difference range from about 0.2 um to about 2 um. In other words, the width LS₁ of the end portion 411 is substantially equal to the width LS₂ of the body 410 plus a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LS₁=LS₂+n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or substantially equal to 0.2. For example, if n=0.2, LS₂=4, then LS₁=4.2; if n=1, LS₂=4, then LS₁=5; if n=0.2, LS₂=6, then LS₁=6.2; if n=1.25, LS₂=4, then LS₁=5.25; if n=1, LS₂=3, then LS₁=4, wherein these values can be changed according to design requirements or design rules. Note that the width LS₁ of the end portion 411 can also be calculated by adding the first width LD₁ by a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LS₁=LD₁+n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or equal to 0.2. The second width LD₂ is substantially equal to the first width LD₁ subtracted by a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LD₂=LD₁−n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or substantially equal to 0.2. For example, if n=0.2, LD₁=4, then LD₂=3.8; if n=1, LD₁=4, then LD₂=3; if n=0.4, LD₁=5, then LD₂=4.6; if n=1.25, LD₁=4, then LD₂=2.75; if n=1, LD₁=3, then LD₂=2, wherein these values can be changed according to design requirements or design rules. Note that the second width LD₂ can also be calculated by subtracting the width LS₂ of the body 410 by a difference of at least about 0.2 um which can be represented by the following equation: LD₂=LS₂−n, wherein n is a natural number substantially greater than or substantially equal to 0.2. After calculation, it is known that the ratio of the width LS₁ of the end portion 411 and the width LS₂ of the body 410 is substantially 0.7 to 2, the ratio of the width LS₁ of the end portion 411 and the first width LD₁ is substantially 1.05 to 2, and the ratio of the first width LD₁ and the second width LD₂ is substantially 1.05 to 2.

In addition, the transistor types suitable for the electrode structure comprise bottom-gate (such as back channel etching (BCE), etching-stopper), top-gate, or other similar types.
